Helm's Deep

I just noticed this but anyone who knows anything about greek history does Helm's Deep remind you of Thermopalaye? (I murdured the spelling) 300 Rohans vs 10,000 uruk hai? -300 spartans vs thousands more persians

well, not really, thermopalaye wasnt fought in a fort, and it was 10,000 greeks vs 500,000 persians then for the greeks to retreat the 300 spartans went agains the 500,000, but it really doesnt remind me of it, very different types of battles,

when did this batltle 'Thermopalaye' happen?

^^The Battle of Thermopylae happened in 480 BC during the Persian Wars.

The other Greek states had 7,000 men and King Leonidas of Sparta sent 300 Spartans to lead the others and fight against the 300,000 men of Persia in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. And as some of us may know, the Spartans were really great warriors, extremely disciplined; Sparta had the best soldiers during that time, so the Greeks won their victory, albeit the fact that they were extremely outnumbered.

So, in a way, yes, kinda...The Battle of Helm's Deep reminds me of the Battle of Thermopylae.

Some other examples are in the appendices, examples of braveheart and such. I cant remember but it is quite interesting.

.....or am I thinking of the bonus disc on TROY?

Discos - too early for this shit

Discos, you just totally used troy like you just thought of it, when we all know, you read my post to come to your conclusion 😉

Discos The Discmeister

lol no no Chris.

I am saying there are examples of such things in the documentary on the bonus disc - examples of history e.g the battle of stirling bridge and something to do with the french actually winning something.
